    1 Year Used Tesla Model 3 Review

    Definitely not the 1st time. Lots of threads on this subject, just search. I had fixed passenger seat controls 3 or 4 times by now, but one of the buttons has broken off again. I'm not fixing it anymore, until right before I'm selling the stupid thing. You sure you didn't mean the above...

    Disable Walk-Away Lock Theft

    Sorry to hear about your experience. An open door would prevent ANY locking attempt from succeeding. Automatic or manual. Always keep an eye on miscreants hanging around your car. As you leave or return to your car. Even if your car is locked. a

    Best interior aftermarket value upgrades

    This is all HIGHLY subjective. Model 3 interior is cheap, and plasticky. Anything you can do to hide it (wraps, covers, etc.), might be worthwhile for some, and worthless for others. The only functional additional you can make is a line-of-sight mounted speedometer/nav screen. Again, of value...

    Cybertruck Will Feel Dated By the Time it Comes Out?

    It was a BS post on a BS disinformation platform. Most of us have ZERO interest in providing extra advertising revenue stream to social media sites.

    Recommend me jack stands?

    Personally, I've used 3 Ton ESCO jack stands (with an occasional hockey puck) for 20+ years. Solid, stable, easy to use. Not the cheapest. https://www.amazon.com/ESCO-10498-Jack-Stands-Capacity/dp/B01J5ZB8K6?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A1AUFI5NHGNZ61

    Could you help me diagnose the issue with my car after driving on a dirt/rocky road, where it made a strange sound and emitted a burning plastic smell

    Sounds and smells don't transmit well over ASCII. What does that "reduced traction" mean? Short answer is - yes. Take the car to a Tesla SC. But, please, come up with a more precise description of your ongoing problem, so that they can reproduce and validate what's bothering you. "Reduced...

    Cybertruck Will Feel Dated By the Time it Comes Out?

    Shilling for Elon much? Elon had contributed ZERO to Thai kids rescue from the cave, other than inserting himself as a distraction. Elon had NOTHING to do with the rescue, though he tried hard to get a some attention (as per usual) out of a potential tragedy. Elon wants to be in charge of the...

    Buying a Tesla Model 3 with 109000 miles on it. Insurance and Warranty after Tesla's is no more?

    If you are a type of a person who values factory and extended warranties, you REALLY should not be looking into 100+K mile cars. No, there will not be a factory warranty on that car. No, Tesla will not sell you extended warranty (they do make an offer right before 50K factory warranty runs...

    500 mile range? LOL

    It's BAD, and getting worse. Appointment went times have been creeping up north of 3-4 weeks for the last few years. Tesla is simply not expanding SC footprint fast enough to keep up with the number of cars on the road. If you need something minor, a Ranger may be of service (if available in...

    New model 3: serious software error

    A few things to keep in mind for the future: Tesla software updates are 99.9% fluff. And that fluff is never well tested nor debugged. There is absolutely no rush to install them. Especially when you are away from home. You can drive with an inoperative / black screen. Just put the car in...

    FSD transfer to new Model 3 refresh

    Then: Do as they told you, or Go to a SC and ask for your money back unless they fix the config right there and then. HTH, a

    FSD transfer to new Model 3 refresh

    You two clearly got juked by Tesla. Time to go back, in person, to the SC that promised you FSD transfer, and pester them until they fulfill the promise. I do hope that you have it in writing, somewhere !? Good luck, a
